RIDSNAP ILLUSTRATION



The past few days have been great. I have finally had time to relax and prepare for Japan. I've been studying Japanese as well as making new art and designs. This design is an illustration of a girl I found on RIDSNAP, one of my favorite street fashion web sites. Enjoy! The photo credit of course goes to www.ridsnap.com

RIDSNAP Illustration



RIDSNAP is probably my favorite street fashion site on the web. I have personally met the owner and some of the people behind the scenes. I think one of the reasons I love it so much is not only because they capture the coolest styles from my favorite area of Tokyo (Ura-Harajuku), but because the people they seem to take pictures of are absolutely amazing and interesting in some way. They are snapping people that some could say are possibly up to 5 years ahead of trends in the west. That's one thing that's so great about Tokyo. People take style and they are creative with it. Trends are started sometimes by being anti-trend, or just starting something completely true to theirselves and their personality. Then street style sites and magazines like RIDSNAP pick up on this oiginality, and before you know it, all the coolest kids in Tokyo are mimicking these styles in their own way. I hope you guys enjoy this illustration, and be sure and check out www.ridsnap.com if you haven't yet. I check it daily, haha. *CREDIT GOES TO RIDSNAP for the photo.

1920's Punk


Sorry for the lack of posts lately! Been super busy. In some of my free time, I've been really interested in antique clothing style, mostly from sources like the RIDSNAP street fashion web site, which features pictuers of people in Tokyo, and watching part of a 1920's silent film. The inspiration for this illustration is a conceptual street fashion style subculture. 1920's Punk. Flapper punk? Who knows. One thing that I enjoy so much about street fashion in Tokyo is that so many new styles and fashion subcultures are always coming up and evolving. Style in Tokyo is not only cool, it is artistic and creative. I hope you enjoy this new illustration! Be sure and click for higher detail and resolution.

RIDSNAP Illustration+"Art School Style?"


From www.ridsnap.com (check it out!)
So I did another illustration of one of my favorite more recent RIDSNAP shots. What do you guys think? I enjoyed making this one..There was a lot more detail in the outfit than normal! haha.

Also..Recently, I've kind of had this concept of "art school style"...The name might sound cheezy, but I don't have a better word for it. I'm just imagining a Tokyo/Harajuku/Koenji concept store. I did some sketches in class yesterday..haha. I'm wanting to maybe do some illustrations along these lines..So I'll explain..

The concept would be kind of like workwear/Japanese art school student. After visiting my friend at Zokei Daigaku, it really kind of sparked this interest in me. The look would consist of lots of color, but not too bright. Custom drawings and illustrations on clothing, D.I.Y., paint splatters(but not cheezy), overalls, ragged jumpsuits, artist hats, ink dyed jeans, and even maybe good ol' colored stained rubber gloves.

Is it weird that I think about concepts like this when I'm daydreaming in class? Haha. I want to do some more sketches, and relate it to my art. Let me know what you guys think! It would be a dream to somehow have a store in Harajuku, with used clothing, and something along these lines, which I could incorporate my illustrations into. Just some thoughts! Let me know what you think!

Thank you, RIDSNAP!
